Even before the 2012 campaign hots up, Nana Akufo-Addo has thrown the first punch, running down his main contender and President of Ghana JEA Mills, implying that the president has been a total failure.
He told thousands of New Patriotic Party supporters at a rally in Accra Saturday that President Mills has presided over ?high cost of education and widespread corruption? in the country.
Nana Addo said the failure of the president to address issues confronting the nation such as unemployment, struggling businesses, high cost of education and widespread of corruption in his Thursday’s State of the Nation Address is an indicative that ?he is no longer in touch with the concerns of the ordinary Ghanaian?.
Mincing no words, the NPP flag-bearer asserted that President Mills would certainly not have the moral ground, in this election year, to campaign on any achievement.
?The President and his advisors have decided that they cannot campaign on his record; they cannot campaign on his performance; he cannot campaign on the programmes he has for the future of this country; [and] he cannot campaign against my public record.
?But they are right. They are right to say they cannot campaign on his record and his performance: the record is poor and the performance is weak. That is why they cannot campaign on that record or that performance.?
